Rangers Claim Edwar Cabrera From Rockies

The Rangers have claimed Edwar Cabrera off waivers from the Rockies, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post (on Twitter). Cabrera was expected to be removed from Colorado's 40-man roster this offseason.

Cabrera was sidelined all season with a shoulder injury. The left-hander made two big league starts for the Rockies in 2012 but spent the rest of the season in the minors. In 21 combined starts for the club's Triple-A and Double-A affiliates, Cabrera posted a 3.05 ERA with 8.4 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9.

The Rockies dropped another pitcher from the 40-man roster earlier today when they outrighted Manny Corpas.
